Superbowl Commercials: Budweiser Wins, Fox loses

A new blog entry has been added:

Superbowl Commercials: Budweiser Wins, Fox loses

Quote:
Commercials are the backbone of many Superbowl parties. People love to sit around and rate the commercials while jabbering about the game. This year we have a good football game and lousy commercials. Here are my picks for the winners and losers.

Halftime Show Comments

Tom Petty did a nice job with the halftime show. The music brought back memories and some of the backdrop lights complimented the mood. Good job.

The game was the best in recent history. I can only think of some SF 49ers games that ended in a more spectacular way.

I enjoyed reading everyone's twitters during the game, too!

OK. Now I am laughing. Alexander Wolfe compiled the list of commercials and rates them. You may not agree with his ratings (and he messed up on some of the details) but the post provides a nice flashback to the ads.

I looked at Wolfe's article. What surprises me is that someone would actually watch and rate every single commercial...?! Maybe it's because Super Bowl commercials are such a big deal. I guess somebody has to do it, huh!

Personally, I liked the dancing lizards commercial, but it didn't do a really great job of selling, because I didn't remember what it was advertising! I vaguely remember some flavored water type of thing--not sure.

I always like the Clydesdale ads...I love horses! And they usually have a little touch of feel-good Americana. Kinda sweet. (I don't get how the whole idea ties in with beer though!)
